We stayed two nights and had a wonderful stay. The Nayara suite had wooden floors, canopy beds, marble bathroom and secluded private garden with magnificent view of Volcan Arenal. Staff were great and the food delightful, especially the banana flambé courtesy of Juan Carlos, known to everyone as JC. He made our visit! Highly recommended.

Boy, was this luxurious! Our room was sort of hexagonol and absolutely vast with a wonderful balcony overlooking the volcano (unfortunately, it was shrouded in mist!) and with a hot tub. The restaurant was excellent, as was the food, and there are lots of places in the beautiful gardens to sit and relax. The resident, free-ranging parrots were very entertaining too!

I would definitely recommend staying here. the grounds are beautiful and well kept. our room was so luxurious with a hot tub on the balcony, two person shower indoors AND out doors, and a hammock to lay back and relax in. the people working here are really helpful as well. they took care of all our needs. they booked excursions, transportation, and spa services... anything we we wanted. they also have a few laptops set up in the lobby with internet which was also a great plus.

We arrived at Nayara Hotel- beautiful room with incredible indoor and outdoor showers! The outdoor shower was surrounded by stone walls and was huge.Flowers and birds everywhere with a view of the volcano right from our room. The sounds of the birds was incredible. We both recorded the morning birds with our iphones. It beat any nature CD that we …

... tomatoes and basil. Derek had pizza too. Larry and Erin got casados again with corvina (sea bass, this time from the Pacific Ocean). It was 2:00 by the time we got there and 3:00 by the time we left.

Next we drove to Curi-Cancha Reserve to do some more bird and wildlife watching. This is owned by a family who stopped logging and running cattle on their land over 15 years ago. They are letting it grow up wild ...

We've arrived in La Fortuna, at the Hotel Las Colinas. It's much more humid and it's been raining for a while now. I took a very nice nap on our 2+ hour bus ride, and was woken by the AC freezing me to death. So I suppose I can't complain! Our bus is huge, meant to hold 50+ people, and we don't have more than 30. It's very nice, and I'm glad we ...

... swing, part bungy - you free fall for 40metres before it becomes a swing and you swing back up just as high! Was crazy - but really fun! After an action packed day we went for dinner at one of the self acclaimed top 10 bizarre restaurants in the world. It was a restaurant with a massive tree inside it - it was called the tree house! We enjoyed some delicious food and a few drinks - some enjoying a lot more than others, was a great night ...

... re supposed to just jump! When we ended up watching the video, it was ridiculous how I jumped because I crouched down looking like I was ready to back out then I bolted into the air into my death. The view, I believe, will be forever etched in my mind. Just the feeling of falling, just the feeling of not having control of where you're going...you are just going down. I swear, I had nightmares about it last night. It was the highest bungee jump in all of Latin ...
